Ghosts of the Deep Boosting

Ghosts of the Deep is part of the Lightfall expansion and the 21th season of Destiny 2, Season of the Deep. It’s a 3-person dungeon taking place at the New Pacific Arcology, Titan. In it, the Guardians learn that the Hive plans to revive Oryx, the Taken King, whose body remains slumber in the depths of the Titan’s ocean, falling there after the God-King’s defeat during the events of the King’s Fall raid. Naturally, our mission is to stop the Hive before they manage to do it.

The dungeon has only 3 major encounters, as well as several underwater sections to go along with the marine theme of the Season of the Deep. The only important thing to remember about them is that air bubbles don’t account for the number of the players, so you should pop them together with your teammates to make sure that no one drowns. The bubbles have a small AOE so as long as everyone is standing nearby, it doesn't matter who actually popped the bubble. The dungeon offers a new set of Legendary weapons, a new Exotic weapon, a set of hive-themed armor, a pair of emblems and an appropriately themed Recalcitrant Host Sparrow.

It’s recommended to have the 1990 Power Level for the base dungeon and 2020+ for Master. None of the bosses seem to have a timer, so you should be relatively safe entering the dungeon with the minimum requirements.

A shame, but no. Even owning the base version of the Lightfall expansion isn’t going to cut it, since it’s not part of the seasonal content. Anyone wishing to play this dungeon must either own the Deluxe Edition of the Lightfall or buy a Lightfall Dungeon Key.

If you’re doing the dungeon for the first time, go and pick up the Rise quest from Hawthorne in the Tower. Once that is done, open up the Director and click H.E.L.M. — you’ll see the icon for the Ghosts of the Deep dungeon on the left side of the map. Just click on the icon and you’ll jump right into the dungeon! Note that you must own Lightfall Deluxe Edition or a Lightfall Dungeon Key in order to unlock this dungeon in the first place.

Ghosts of the Deep dungeon can be soloed, but the process can be extremely tedious. While the bosses don’t have wipe abilities, they’re extremely tanky. At the moment of writing, clearing a dungeon solo can take players more than an hour, with most of the time spent just repeating the laborious process of opening up the bosses to the damage over and over again. The dungeon also features a pretty high amount of enemies, which can really throw you off and lead to early death when they’re all focused on you. This is why, unless you’re specifically looking for a solo challenge, it’s strongly recommended to enter the dungeon with a team.

Unsurprisingly, Navigator, the Exotic Trace Rifle, is the most esteemed reward in the Ghosts of the Deep dungeon. It’s a rather unique one as well, being more of a support weapon, which you can use to give Woven Mail to you and your allies or to debuff the enemy. Its catalyst also allows you to create a grappling hook anywhere you wish, including PvP, with a 30 second cooldown. All of these abilities already make the Navigator a great utility weapon, but its positives don’t end there, as it also has some great synergy with other Strand gear. While not Meta-changing, Navigator is a very fun and useful Exotic to use, as well as opening up some really powerful gear/perk combinations for the Strand sub-classes.

Simmumah ur-Nokru, Lucent Necromancer is the last boss you’d be facing in the Ghosts of the Deep Dungeon. The boss himself doesn’t have that many special abilities, he mostly teleports around the arena and shoots at the players with a barrage of fast moving projectiles. However, the boss is invulnerable to damage at the beginning of the encounter and most of your work will go towards taking off this invulnerability. The process is rather obscure and complicated, to the point that we can’t even put it in just two words. But unless you prefer to crack the boss mechanics yourself, it’s strongly advised to be well acquainted with the boss mechanics beforehand, as well as have a party that knows what to do — wrong actions at this phase can result in death.

It’s also important to remember that the boss has a ghost, which has to be crushed to defeat the Simmumah for good. Otherwise, he will come back and you’ll have to repeat the battle all over again.
